As soon as the call was picked up, the manager’s flustered voice came through. “Didn’t I tell you to come to the company before three? Where are you? Don’t you want to walk the red carpet today?”

Luo Ying scraped at her manicure and said casually, “Oh, I forgot. But I have something to do now. Why don’t you go to the hotel first? I’ll meet you there.”

The manager was speechless. “So, you’re not going to do your red carpet makeup anymore?”

“I’ll sort it out, so don’t you worry about it.”

As a veteran in the fashion circle, David was very experienced with the nuances within the circle. From Luo Ying’s tone, he knew that complicated matters were playing out behind the scenes. However, he was only here for Lu Zhao’s sake, so he wasn’t very interested in Luo Ying’s matters.

He looked at the time and said, “It’s about an hour’s drive to Luofeng Hotel. If you’re an artiste, you’ll have to wait at the venue half an hour in advance. If you leave now, you’ll be just in time.”

“I’ve already prepared the costumes and wardrobe changes for your performance tonight,” David said. I won’t be accompanying you on this trip. “My student, Annie, will be with you:

“Okay, thank you.” Luo Ying thanked him.

David clapped his hands. “Such beautiful makeup. It would be a pity if we don’t immortalize this moment in pictures.” David clapped his hands, and an assistant handed him a camera.

Luo Ying took a final look at her makeup and immediately struck a pose. David cheered and then took a lot of photos.

“You don’t need to edit this picture, just post it.”

Luo Ying was also very satisfied with the post. She was ready to post it on her social account after walking the red carpet.

At the venue, a staff member rushed over. “Almost all the artistes have arrived. Is Luo Ying not here yet?”

Luo Ying was not picking up her phone. The manager was about to have a panic attack, but she didn’t dare to lose his temper at the staff on the red carpet. “Sorry, I can’t reach her.”

The staff member was a little dissatisfied. “You’re her manager, and you can’t contact your own artiste? If Luo Ying doesn’t want to walk the red carpet, you can just say so. There’s no need to make a scene at the last minute and say that you can’t find her.”

Xia Lan thought of the company’s arrangements. If Luo Ying didn’t show up, the effect of their painstaking efforts would be greatly reduced. She quickly apologized and asked him to make an exception.

The staff member was impatient. “Alright, alright. I’ll give you another five minutes. If she’s not here by then, I’ll take her name away. Also, isn’t Luo Ying going on stage tonight? The Executive Director is already displeased about her not showing up to the rehearsal. If she doesn’t show up tonight, your company will have to face the Executive Director’s fury.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a crisp voice came from outside the door. “Sorry I’m late.”

As soon as Xia Lan heard Luo Ying’s voice, she lost her temper out of habit. “Where the hell have you been?!”

But when she looked up, the person who walked in was not Luo Ying, who she was familiar with, but a dazzling beauty.

Xia Lan’s mouth hung wide open, and she swallowed her words of complaint. She thought to herself, “Since when did such an outstanding figure appear in the industry? It would be great if I could sign her. With a face like this, she would become famous even if she stood still.”

The staff member was also stunned and had the same thoughts as Xia Lan.

However, he didn’t know Luo Ying very well, so her appearance was not particularly jarring to him. While Xia Lan was positively shell-shocked, he only admired her beauty for a moment.

“You must be Luo Ying? Why are you so late?”

Luo Ying apologized to him, “I’m sorry. There was a traffic accident on the way, so I was delayed for a while.”

A celebrity, and a delicate beauty at that, was looking at him with watery eyes and saying such soft words to him. The staff’s heart immediately softened, and his tone quickly softened. “It’s good that you just made it in time. Just be more careful next time. Since you’re here, hurry and wait for your turn.”

“Okay, thank you.” Luo Ying followed him obediently and was about to go in, but Xia Lan grabbed her arm and stopped her.

A trace of impatience flashed across Luo Ying’s brows. “What’s wrong?”

“You are Luo Ying?” Xia Lan looked at the familiar face and had to accept the fact that this beautiful woman was indeed Luo Ying.
